                    <p>
                        <h2>
                            Let God's Word Activate Your Faith
                        </h2>
                    </p>
                    <p>
                        “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word
                        about Christ.” (Romans 10:17 NIV) Most of us aren't confident or courageous. Most
                        of us are flat out scared to death. We're afraid to take risks, afraid of failure,
                        and afraid of dying. We're not walking confidently because we're not people of faith.
                        Do you want to be a person of faith? Faith is God's Word activated. The Bible says
                        in Romans 10:17, “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard
                        through the Word about Christ” (NIV). If you've ever read a verse in the Bible and
                        all of a sudden thought, “I can do this! I can do this!” you've just had your faith
                        activated by the Word of God. It's the difference between the Bible and self-help
                        books. Self-help books often give you helpful insight. They can tell you the right
                        thing to do, but they just don't give you the power to do it. Self-help books tell
                        you that you should stop worrying or you should give up all your bad habits. Helpful,
                        yes, but you don't have the power to keep the advice. Those books aren't alive.
                        But God's Word not only tells you what to do; it gives you the power to do it. And
                        it increases your faith as you do it. When I read the thousands of promises in the
                        Bible where God says he'll act on our behalf if we obey him in some manner, it gives
                        me confidence. I know that if I do what God asks of me, he has promised a certain
                        result. I was depressed for most of 1993, when I had just moved to Perambur to start
                        the ministry. I was exhausted emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
                        I felt like I had a cloud over my head that I just couldn't escape from. I'll never
                        forget some of the verses that really activated my faith, Exodus 23:29-30: “But
                        I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate
                        and the wild animals too numerous for you. Little by little I will drive them out
                        before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.” God
                        had promised the Israelites the Promised Land. They were going to go across the
                        Jordan River into Israel and take on some tribes that were already living there.
                        They didn't think they could do it. They thought the goal was too big. In Exodus
                        23:29-30, God is sayingto the Israelites, “You know these enemies? They're bigger
                        than you. But I'm not going to give you the whole land in the first year. You're
                        going to take it over a little at a time one battle at a time. You're growing stronger.
                        When you're strong enough to handle it all, you'll get it all.” When I read those
                        verses, it was like a promise coming directly to me. I realized I didn't have to
                        accomplish it all in the first year. I'm going to spend the rest of my life serving
                        Jesus Christ, and I'll do it on his timetable and at his pace. That understanding
                        gave me confidence to take on enormous goals. The Word activated my faith. God's
                        Word can activate your faith, too.</p>

                    <p>
                        “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” (Psalm 25:9 NIV)
                        The Bible says there are several things we need to do to receive guidance from God,
                        but the very first thing is this: We need to admit we need a guide! Most of the
                        time we don't want to follow God. We want to go our own way. We don't want to admit
                        we need direction or that we need a guide. Sheep, by nature, tend to wander off
                        the path. The Prophet Isaiah says, “All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We
                        have left God's paths to follow our own” (Isaiah 53:6a NLT). Another thing about
                        sheep is that they have poor vision. They can't see very far ahead. That's why they
                        need a shepherd. God made you so that you would not be able to see into the future
                        no matter how much you try. Why did God do this? He did it so you would depend on
                        him. Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end
                        it leads to death” (NIV). We've all made decisions that at the time seemed right
                        but later on turned out to be wrong. Some paths lead to dead ends and we end up
                        off track. That's why we need to admit, “God, I need help.”</p>
